Thanks Jon. Do you recall where you found the info or have a link? I'd like to pursue that a bit further if possible. Edit: I found it.

Another Breeze invention I thought some of you might appreciate seeing. Sorry to get off topic, just thought it was important to consider other avenues of discovery. Then in the late 1930s another carb Carburetor (freepatentsonline.com)

George A. Breeze is seen on top of bowl of this Zephyr carb for a similar comparison. On freepatents website it mentions George A Breeze a subject of Great Britian residing in Detroit. Not sure if that means anything but it may come into play later. Filing date 10/03/1912 publication date 11/02/1915 CARBURETER. (freepatentsonline.com) This next one is said to be made by Breeze Motor Manufacturing Co. while he was a resident of Newark, NJ. Filing date was 10/29/1904 and publication date was 02/23/1909 CARBURETER FOR HYDROCARBON-ENGINES. (freepatentsonline.com) Again, I'm only posting in case this leads to other answers. It would seem these Zephyr carbs predated the Federal-Zephyr Carb on topic if I'm following the timeline correctly?

In case anyone was wondering what you were describing. The front ones.

Such an obscure one.... Only references I could find were in a few publications: Automobile dealer and repairer, a practical journal exclusively for these interests v. 23-24 (1917-1918) Then in a Chilton automobile directorty dated July 1916 I found this: Then when you go to page 62 the advertising has a different address of 360 Trombly Ave but according to current maps there is no Trombly Ave. There is a Trombly St so I'm betting thats where they were located at one time. Current maps show the building was in a industrial area and has been torn down. I was hoping this type of search would lead to other clues but my only suggestion is that you now have a solid time frame between 1916-1918 to search for it's possible application. Because it was listed in Chilton directory could mean it was either automobile or tractor related unfortunately. Wish I could have helped more on this one. Very interesting,... maybe @carbking will weigh in to let us know if he's ever heard the name before? Here's a mention of Zephyr carb on Jons website but I think this is related to George Breeze instead of Federal Brass Works out of Detroit: Unclear if Breeze and Federal Brass had any connection however both were in Detroit in the time frame of 1916-1918 from all indications. Here's a Elco in case that's what you find out it belongs to. Orphan more than likely...

It does list it under a small link that says "Race Highlights" Then in the "exhibition highlights" it continues: 1903 Mercedes-Simplex 60 HP 'Roi des Belges' | Gooding & Company (goodingco.com)

This one always made my knees buckle when looking at it... It's as if the truck is saying "Good lord, get off me you fat bast**!"

I'd bet it's a Universal Crane. I doubt any tags are legible, but you might get lucky and find something. @JohnS25 if you do make another visit ask if he has ever ID'ed the crane. If not maybe ask him for permission to climb up there to see if you can find any markings to help him know what he has?

Good look at the tread. If one can find the tread that matches it would verify who the maker was.

Anyone know the history of this one? While studying this morning I found this in one of my old files. Not sure where or when it was taken

A secure unit even with the pitch

As Paul Harvey once told me, those are obviously blue hats.... avoid them at all cost. Good day

According to eBay there's over 2400 results matching this vehicle. I'm sure there's one or two matches in reality.

This is the for sale section. You may have better luck here: Parts Wanted - Antique Automobile Club of America - Discussion Forums (aaca.org) Welcome to the forum and good luck.

Mines obvious, but I really wish you guys would stop referring to me as DP in replies to my posts...🙄

Not sure how these didn't make the list... At times these two sets of tools give me more trouble than anything. Is Fred Podolak still wearing #14? 🙄

For some reason I'd always associated it with being a wood track until recently. Photos don't do it justice, but here are some track level views for folks like myself who've never been.

Not the same car or year but this shows some of her in action Marjorie Eccles Racing Driver photos | IMAGO (imago-images.com) Eccles Rapier and other Lagonda Rapiers - Tim and Jane Metcalfe (tjmetcalfe.com)

Very rarely is a 8 year old thread worthy of bringing back to the top. This is one instance of a worthy moment. Wow

Wonder why the Ross Roy books have them designated other years then?

I've studied trucks mostly and know little about the passenger cars so I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong, but in a recent purchase (Ross Roy data book) shows the following according to model charts inserted and is dated Jan 1932. Built from Dec 13 1929 to May 22 1930 designated "1930 series" (models). Built from July 1 1930 to June 30 1931 designated 1931 series Built from July 1 1931 to Sept 15 1931 designated 1932 series Are you or someone you know looking at buying one? Be aware they also made the New Eight (DG) in the early 30s. DC-8 will have a distinct art deco feel on the interior components. If you are thinking of purchasing, photos and dash FEDCO plate will help further with a positive I.D. If you're betting someone we get have of the proceeds if you win. If you lose you're on your own.

Crazy part is, it looks like the ladder was specifically made for that task.. Well, sort of. I always wonder what the conversation was in moments like these lol. I'm sure it was entertaining. Truly relaxed and just having fun.

Hey at least they had some lol.

Definitely a 3/4 ton according to model chart. It's possible the rear axle is original and he had to get some rollers to move it to where it is now.
